For the first time since Dec. I had the opportunity to go circulate the oil, and blow out the cobwebs.
Was a high overcast, and wind blowing straight down according to the windsock. What do I find during preflight? Left strut completely flat. I just re sealed them a couple years ago. No 5606 or any sign of it anywhere, so not a blown seal. I think mabe the schrader valve has been seeping air over the past couple months. Anyway, mx shop is closed, and I didn't want to bother the A&P to borrow his strut pump, on a Sunday, so I went home. Mabe I'll get to fly some time in the next few weeks.
